in light of the new trailer park trash thread... Reply #16 – February 26, 2006, 01:07:14 PM I trashed my first car, an '86 POS 3.8 tbird. We ramped it, when the tires blew we put sand in the engine and small rocks down the intake. Then in the end we broke out all the windows and lit it on fire. Right now it's under ground. I hated that car. Quote Selected

Reply #18 – February 27, 2006, 01:54:54 PM With the first 3.8 i have in the cougar, i jumped at least 4 times ( me and my friends believed we were the dukes of hazard, i had 17 at the time), done extensive offroading and never got stuck, my car was recently painted but i didnt care....and six months later, a blown head gasket...and before installing the actual 3.8 , i did something similar like the video (without mud) in a stadium......

Reply #24 – February 27, 2006, 05:19:33 PM Quote from: oldravenThen kill the motor, not the car.The car was rusted out beyond salvage, inside was trashed and was just a trashed car. I guess insurance might be cheaper for 3.8's, but a 2.3 will get better milage and IMO be more reliable. Quote Selected
in light of the new trailer park trash thread... Reply #25 – February 27, 2006, 05:43:34 PM XR-7's insurance is cheap...my 84 is about the same as my girlfriend's 88 TC as well. My 87 XR-7 was a little more because of the V8 I guess.More reliable only IF you spend more time taking care of it. N/A engines have a way with being forgiving as far as forgetting stuff like fluids. 2.3T's however, let the oil get too low...the turbo might fry or the car won't start (previous experience), let the coolant get too low, chances are the head will warp and headgaskets will pop as fast as you can put them in, let the gas get too low, the turbo will suck whatever is left and laugh once it runs dry. 2.3T's are more a PITA than a reliable means of transportation. Don't get me wrong, all cars need to be mantained. But the fact is, you don't HAVE to change the oil every 3,000 miles with an N/A. You don't HAVE to make sure the car doesn't overheat...even once....and so on. I love 2.3T's but sometimes I wish I wouldn't have gotten into turbos for the simple fact of high maintenance or many hours of fixing things....very expensive things. Quote Selected
